Introduction Section:Medical marijuana is a controversial subject. This literature review is broken up into four sections and will focus on the general therapeutic uses of medical marijuana, the methods to use medical marijuana, medical marijuana use for multiple sclerosis patients, and medical marijuana use for AIDS/cancer patients. The reason for the first section, therapeutic uses of medical marijuana, is because it allows the readers to understand the general beneficial therapeutic use of medical marijuana. The different methods to administer medical marijuana are listed as another category because there are different choices that a patient has to effectively use marijuana for medical use. With that being said, there are three methods listed in this review, with one being the most commonly use but is the most harmful way to use marijuana and the other two being the alternative choices for patients. The third section, medical marijuana use for multiple sclerosis patients, deals with how medical marijuana works in certain patients but not in all of the multiple sclerosis patients. The last section, medical marijuana uses for AIDS/cancer patients, is about the effective beneficial use for the patients. The only database that was used was the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) because it was the first database that I tried for health related information. This database had enough information that I did not need to look at other databases. The dates of the articles that were used in this literature review range from 2000 to 2011. Section One: Therapeutic Uses

The following three articles will focus on the therapeutic uses of marijuana for medical use. In the first article, Seamon MJ, Fass JA, Maniscalco-Feichtl M, and Abu-Shraie NA are the authors who are affiliated with the College of Pharmacy at Nova Southeastern University of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They published their work in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy. Mathre ML is the author of the second article. She is the president of an organization called “Patients Out of Time,” from the University of Virginia Health System in Charlottesville, Virginia. She published her work in the journal, Drug & Alcohol Professional. Finally, the last article, the authors are Russo E, Mathre ML, Byrne A, Velin R, Bach PJ, Sanchez-Ramos J, and Kirlin KA. These authors are affiliated with the Montana Neurobehavioral Specialists in Missoula, Montana. They published their article in the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics.

The first article, “Clinical Review. Medical Marijuana and The Developing Role of The Pharmacist,” is a review on the legalization and the use of marijuana for medical reasons. There are still battles of legalizing marijuana in the United States. Some states have approved the use of medical marijuana, but on the other hand, other states will allow patients to claim a defense and prove that they need marijuana for medical purposes. Moreover, patients who experience one of the five general indications listed in the article for the medical use of marijuana does not have to see a pharmacist because patients are able to grow their own plant to treat themselves, legally in some states. This article is a good over view of the laws of medical marijuana and the guidelines that generally suggest who are able to use marijuana for medical purposes. It went straight to the point without using terms where readers who are not familiar with legal or medical terms can understand. This article overall had good information on the issues of therapeutic and legal situations of medical marijuana. This can be understandable because I think the article was meant to be readable to the general public, which is another reason for this article being listed first.

Even though there are negative opinions about the use of medical marijuana, there are also beneficial therapeutic uses to marijuana and these are explained in the second article,...

“Alone on the Hilltop”
In Lame Deers story “ Alone on the Hilltop” he recalls the moment in life when his first hanblechia
occurred at the age of 16. The first scene begins on the hilltop where Lame Deer had been brought by
Chest, the medicine man. Lame Deer has been left all alone on the hilltop for 4 days nights with no
water or food. The only thing that he had with him where his star blanket which his grandmother had
knitted for him, a pipe with kinnickinnick, and gourd which contained forty pieces of his grandmothers
flesh and tiny stones picked up from an ant heap. Lame Deer knew though that after all of this was over
he would no longer be a child, he would be a man and he would be given a man's name. He started to
smoke the pipe he began to feel comforted and his fear started to diminish. He describes that he felt like
his forefathers, whom this pipe once belonged to, where with him on the hilltop and that he was no
longer alone. The thought of not being able to have vision still worried Lame Deer though. He wanted
to be able to become a yuwipi but he knew that he could only become that was what his vision was. If
he dreamt of Thunder Beings then that would make him a heyoka , a clown. Night time had arrived and
began to feel the overwhelming presence of a big bird. He became overwhelmed by the feeling of the
bird touching him and grasped the rattle in order to calm his fears. Then he...

Literature Review: Women Revolutionized by Chopin’s ‘Story of an Hour’
Being ahead of her time, Kate Chopin’s work focused on female empowerment. It became relevant in her stories of female independence and freedom. In her writing, she portrayed women in a way nobody understood or could comprehend. Her stories inspired women to believe in themselves and their freedom to make choices for themselves. In her short story, “Story of an Hour,” she write about how the death of a husband empowering a woman with an abrupt sense of freedom and independence.
This was a time when women had restrictions on what was appropriate for them. It was liberating and beyond what women were used to reading in American literature. She illuminated freedom for women in a time where there was major restriction. She became independent in her personal life and correlated independence in her stories, in a time where that was very rare.
Coming from the south, Chopin had a sultry southern sensuality. (Evans, Robert) It was relevant in the way she wrote. She gave women a voice in which they were not used to. Restrictive ties to men such as, husbands, boyfriends, fathers, and brothers, kept women from becoming independent. In “Story of an Hour,” the main character, Mrs. Mallard feels a very deep level of liberation after the death of her husband. “Chopin knew women were much more likely to...

After exploring genres common to the field of television through a preliminary genre analysis, I continued analyzing the language and genres of my field by focusing in on reality television programs. I gathered articles relating to content of reality TV shows and motivations behind watching reality television programs. I found academic articles relating to reality TV and traced the patterns common in these articles. Through my research, I have found sources based on the effects of reality TV shows on society (Papacharissi and Mendelson; Patino, Kaltcheva, and Smith; Frank; Ferris, Sandi Smith, Greenberg, and Stacy Smith; Barton; Vandenbosch and Eggermont; Kocela) and other sources based on the actual content of reality TV shows (Cooke-Jackson and Hansen; Ouellette; Wilson, Robinson, and Callister). These sources have helped me attain a view of all aspects of reality television programming in relation to television production. In addition, these articles have helped me continue exploring the genre conventions that I will need to learn as I enter a new community through my major.
Effects of watching reality television’s content on viewers
Viewers tend to mimic in real life what they see on reality television shows. Some sources suggest that these mimicking behaviors may be harmful. (Ferris; Vandenbosch; Wilson) More specifically, in their February 2012 article, “Surviving Survivor: A Content Analysis of Antisocial Behavior and Its...

...McQueens Themes:
If there was ever a designer whose soul intention was to encompass the victim and the survivor in his creations, it would be McQueen. As his collection grew so did his need to empower woman, transforming the weak and incapable through his garments; he created a warrior, uncovered beauty when it wasn't visible to the untrained eye and romanticised what most would view as tragic. In doing so he managed to capture the attention of the fashion world as a whole, despite being misunderstood by many, he continued to create and stun viewers until his very last show. This review includes texts written by Evans (2004) Quinn (2002) and Harriman (2011)
The main focus of this review will be on McQueens astounding ability to create in ways other designers could not. How he manipulated the fabric he worked with through cut, texture and construction leaving the viewer with an uncomfortable aesthetic, in conjunction this analysis will also outline four main themes analysed by Evans (2004). The themes being: Victimisation, Femme Fatale, terror and disenchantment. Addressing the four main themes the McQueen woman, instead of transforming into a new person, simply grows out of the Victim and into the aggressor, remaining beautiful and gaining respect throughout.
McQueen who firmly stated that he used fashion as a way to depict the unveiling times, Harriman (2011), did so through his designs. By deconstructing garments he managed to...
